Trump appoints former Fox News contributor as State Department spokesperson

President-elect Donald Trump announced that former Fox News contributor Tammy Bruce will join his administration as the spokesperson for the US Department of State later this month.

Trump made a post on Truth Social, announcing the appointment, Caliber.Az reports.

“It is my great honor to announce that Tammy Bruce will be joining our incredible Nominee for United States Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, as Spokesperson for the US Department of State.

Tammy is a highly respected political analyst who understood the power and importance of 'MAGA' early on. She received her Bachelor's Degree in Political Science at the University of Southern California and, after being a liberal activist in the 1990s, saw the lies and fraud of the Radical Left, and quickly became one of the strongest Conservative voices on Radio and Television.

As one of the longest serving News Contributors, Tammy has brought TRUTH to the American People for over two decades. I know she will bring that same strength of conviction and fearless spirit to her new position as State Department Spokesperson.

Congratulations Tammy!” Trump wrote.

According to her Fox News bio, Bruce was a registered Democrat until 2008 and worked on several left-wing political campaigns in the 1990s. She has since aligned herself with conservative values, working to expose and defeat the leftist agenda. Bruce also previously led the National Organization for Women.

Bruce joins several other former Fox News hosts and contributors appointed to roles within the incoming administration, including Sean Duffy, Pete Hegseth, Janette Nesheiwat, and Monica Crowley. Bruce's new role does not require Senate confirmation.
